When saving hash, save only the file name and not the directories in one file #178

The software is awesome. When I save a hash for a folder that has subfolders, exporting the hash in one file keeps their directory. But if I later move a file, it is no longer detected. Is it possible to export the list with just names, like it does for single folder contents?

Thanks for everything.

You could fulfil your request in the wording yourself by deleting the folder levels from the checksum files with a text editor. It would be no problem to make RapidCRC-Unicode to save a file only with the file names - that's exactly the behaviour if you create a checksum of the same/single folder level. With the folder-level missing, a checksum program would not be able to find the files stored in subfolders again. But you surely want a checksum program to be able to read such a file again - and how should this work, according to your request?

Would it help you to use "CRC into Filename" or "CRC into NTFS Stream". The CRC checksum would be preserved in both cases, when moving the files.

I also do not see the use case for this feature - if you have the files in the sfv without the paths then they will not be found if they are in a subdirectory.

My apologies for commenting this late. I am not a programmer, so how this would work is not something I am currently knowledgeable on.

I used your text editor solution.

Thank you!!
